I always cherished visiting Aunt Dottie on my trips back to New England over the years. She would always make coffee and have some sort of desert. She was always interested in what I was doing and hearing about what my family was up to. Can’t forget all the time we spent with the other Balletto family while growing up. I had the opportunity to visit a couple weeks ago with her and we had a delightful visit. We sure will miss her and our thoughts and prayer are with her family.
